Anthony Davis Discussion: Sore Tummy

Tied with Herb Jones

 

It's called marketing, but actually very bad one

2. Joel Embiid, Philadelphia – 10%
3. Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio – 3%
» Last year: Nikola Jokic – 93%
BTW Sabonis is never was considered a PF before

 

we need to hire the gm who thinks AD is the best pf in the league after lebron retires lol.

 

But this is pure hate

5. Jordi Fernandez, Brooklyn – 7%
6. JJ Redick, L.A. Lakers – 3%

 

Stamp it in the locker room walls

 

Anyone have the official list of voters for awards for the NBA? Please, if someone can get me that, I can unleash a fury the rest of the year on these voters. Maybe it will travel through the internet and catch on at the right place somewhere....Thanks in advance

 

Why should Redick be higher on the list specifically? It looks like a lot of media folks, think our roster was more of a problem, than coaching last season.

 

WTF is up with these clowns seriously? It seems like they’re just trolling him or maybe they shouldn’t be GMs with “those” powers of observation. The continued voting higher of Gobert alone is a freaking farce. How bout this …. vote on who’d you rather have defending on an island on the perimeter …. Gobert or AD. Ditto on did they not just watch the Olympics. It’s obvious without purple glasses on that AD is the most impactful defender in the game. Get the good smaller guys the hell out of the conversation with him let alone ranked ahead of or tied with him.

 

Your defense of Ham can NEVER approach what you did with Westbrook but taken on it’s own it’s a joke anyway.

 

oh yeah, you'd just swap AD and herb jones and not notice any defensive difference. and totally upgrade with bam adebayo. seriously, wtf?

as for the coach impact rating, my guess is folks are voting on record impact, and we're going to be about the same as last year.

think about it: jb bickerstaff at det is ranked third in positive impact. meanwhile, he got fired in cleveland for atkinson who ranks second.

hate to admit it, but slick is right that they're mostly voting on roster/team trajectory. our stars are aging and we already have injury problems. but there's no doubt that at least in terms of morale, the team is in MUCH better shape than they were last year from the coaching spot.

i know there's no way to verify this, but i think ham lost the team when he couldn't commit to the starting lineup that won at a 60-game clip and instead alienated two or three players right off the bat. that guy suuuuuccckkked as a head coach here.

 

he was really bad, and I tried to defend him. Felt pretty silly after awhile.

 

What does Westbrook have to do with, NBA folks not being impressed with our roster? Jeesh man

YOU are extremely obsessed with Westbrook. He's not here anymore bro, get over it.

 

As far as this coaching thing. I'm going to say this now, before we play a single regular season game.

If JJ is consistently getting these guys good looks, in their preferred spots, he's done his job IMO. If the record isn't to your liking however, don't go blaming the coach.

This is not an elite roster, if everyone was completely healthy IMO. Still we have what we have. I'm rooting for the win in every game as usual.

 

Jordi Fernandez was a coach for Canada at Olympics and Brooklyn has even worse roster unless Simmons will be playing like 1st round pick
And I don't like that same coach goes from team to team in NBA and Hockey.In soccer they change coaches all time.Don't know anything about baseball,but NHL and NBA should be more open for a new coach and fire coach and never hire him back , especially like Doc or Pop who is not that good without all their HOF's.Pop didn't win playoffs series since 2017 .Why he still coaching ?.If Wembanyama franchise player he will l be fine under anybody

 

Pop is overrated.
Nobody will ever convince me that he’s not.

 

AD was annoyed with Prince for something …. did anyone see why? Smack talk or something physical that Prince did? AD was shoulder bumping him good and they were jawing at each other.

 

probably annoyed with him for eating 30 minutes a game last year.

 

Yeah saw that too, but read it as just fooling around. AD usually has that body language, he's not very expressive or smiley. But not sure, you may be right

 

was wondering the same thing.

 

Gee... who knew?
